List of positive integer factors of 9959 that divides 9959 without a remainder.
1,23,433,9959
Factors of 1582
List of positive integer factors of 1582 that divides 1582 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,113,226,791,1582
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9959,1582 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9959,1582 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 355,539
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 191345
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/191345
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9959/355,1582/539 is 1/191345
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 355,539 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(355,539) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(355,539) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(355,539) = ( 355 × 539 ) / 1
LCM(355,539) = 191345 / 1
LCM(355,539) = 191345
